Re: [orca-list] Orca on Gnome or XFCE on 256 Mb RAM?

Hi Fernando:

That's a very old laptop, but seems to at the bare minimum needed for
Ubuntu 7.04: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/704.  

You might give it a shot.  If you manage to get something up and running
on your laptop, I predict your next question will be "why is this so
slow?"  ;-)
